Question

All chalk line is place around the perimeter of the football field. What is the length of this line in feet? The field is 531/3yd length and 120yd width

Answer 1

346 2/3 feet is the length of the line around the perimeter of the field

Answer 2

Answer: 1040 feet.

Explanation:

We know that , Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length +width)

As per given , we have

Length of football ground =
`53(1)/(3)\text{yards}=(53*3+1)/(3)\text{yards}=(160)/(3)\text{ yards}`

Width = 120 yards

Since, the football ground is rectangle in shape.

Then , Perimeter of the ground =
`2((160)/(3)+120)` yards

`=2((160+3(120))/(3))` yards

=
`2((160+360)/(3))`yards

`=2((520)/(3))` yards

`=(1040)/(3)` yards

Also, 1 yard =3 feet

i.e. Perimeter =
`(1040)/(3)*3=1040` feet

Hence, the required perimeter is
